the hornets should trade paul for the #3 pick
but collison is a good player but dont need him
okafor is a bust but his price you can get a big body like him that you could get cheaper in the draft
Just a thought.The Hornets are back in luxury tax territory heading into the 2010-11 season and Marc Stein of ESPN.com writes that they will likely be active on the trade market.
Rival teams will try to convince New Orleans to trade Chris Paul, but it's much more likely that they'll part with promising backup point guard Darren Collison.
Stein writes that the Hornets will likely ask any team interested in Collison to also take one of their cap-clogging contracts -- Emeka Okafor, James Posey or Peja Stojakovic

Would the Hornets trade the best point guard in the league for the 3rd pick?
better then letting him walk in a fa when he is one
The best PG resides in Boston. The third best PG for the #3? Better not let ynh see this stuff.....
Pssst. If you picked up Collison and Okafor for RJ's expiring, you'd have your plug in center, admittedly an overpaid one, and a PG you could plug in and then take Tony shopping on the trade market for a big time scoring 2 or 3.
^^^ Uh, yeah. But I doubt that happens.
If he can get us 10 points and 10 rebounds I'd be willing to take on Okafor if it brought in Collison. People say we don't need a guy like Collison, but my one problem with Parker is that he's a scoring guard and not a traditional point guard, that doesn't mean he's not one of the best point guards in the league, but I think a guy like Darren Collison would fit in better with the team because he'd do a little better job at distributing the ball. Now that you've got a scorer in George Hill, it'd be nice to have a guy like DC2 who could make Hill, Ginobili, and even Timmy's job a little bit easier. And you've also got to take into consideration that Okafor's still got a tad bit of upside, he's a little younger than Parker, if only by a year and he hasn't been playing as long. Darren Collison on the other hand is 22, huge potential to tap into. Parker's got 5 years of prime left and maybe a couple more good years after that before he starts to slow down, but something like that is still worth looking into.
Okafor has career averages of 13 pts 10 Rebs. 2 Blks(almost)...and a FG % of 50. Too bad he is a terrible FT shooter. But whatevs on that one. That doesnt sound to bad to me. Sound great actually. I think getting DC would be a great move. Who knows what Tony will do after this year so he could be a cheap insurance policy that is only 22. The problems are it would take more than RJ and his contract. So what else are we willing to give up? Also Okafor made 10 Mil last year, so what is he making this year? How long is the contract for? Too lazy to look that part of him up. Overall I would jump if we could get that for just RJ. But That is fantasy land IMO.
I also doubt TP has 5 years of "prime" in him left. Perhaps 3. He has tons of mileage.
2010-11: $11,795,000
2011-12: $12,792,500
2012-13: $13,790,000
2013-14: $14,787,500 (eto)
crazy that you say that. I picked them up on my Spurs team from NBA2K10.
Eh, ouch....
Thats alot of money....^^^
Also what does our SF position look like with RJ out with that proposed trade? I suppose we would then focus on vet. min. free agents, our LLE, and our MLE signings to be impactful. I am not sold on Splitter coming over or how big of an impact he will have so we most certainly need to address the front court somehow. We just dont have the size to truly contend.
wtf are they willing to accept, no point in trying to trade parker to them if cp3 is going to bolt and parker bolting to another team, then they are left with no marquee player
Haha no he doesn't, Rondo is probably 3rd best I think... CP3 and Deron still have him covered. CP3s playmaking ability is superior to that of Rondos and I think Pauls rebound averages sit around 4-5rbpg which is very good from your Point Guard. Not to mention he gets you the 20 points shooting at a higher percentage overall (when you consider fg, ft and 3pt).
wouldnt mind taking collison and okafor for jefferson and co. lol
Wouldn't mind? Spurs fans would kick Jefferson and company to the curb for Collison and Okafor.
Of course we woulddnt mind Okafor and Collison. That would be huge for us. But there are problems with taking them on. Oka's contract is one, and the other is what do we have to give with RJ besides TP that we are willing to part with? Giving up TP is obviously not going to help either team unless they are trying to give us CP3 which we all know wont happen. So its RJ and what?? Can we take on Oka's contract?
It would have to be RJ and George Hill and the Spurs would need to have committed to making Darren Collison our PG of the future.. A lot has to happen, it's not just a simple 2 for 2 scenario.
Spurs fans maybe, but Spurs FO - not a chance.
Chris Paul is one of the best point guards in basketball history.
Just saying.
Which is why they're moving him, and you might get him for RJ's expiring. It's the new NBA economics.
Actually, if you're lightening their salary load by $39M for the three years past next season, they're really not in the position to ask for anything BUT salary relief, like George or DeJuan.
I think you only pull the trigger on something like this if you know Splitter is NOT coming.
